AFAIK, all current and recent Linux distros support mount by-label

Even grub in 10.3 supports mounting by label. I tried yesterday:

title MAIN openSUSE 10.3 (default-label)
root (hd0,5)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/disk/by-label/160_root vga=0x317
hwprobe=-modules.pata resume=/dev/hda5 splash=verbose showopts apic

ISTR the YaST installer puts all kernel parameters used during installation
on the kernel lines in menu.lst, but does anyone know if
hwprobe=-modules.pata has any meaning or relevance to anything other than the
YaST installer?
